Agreed

You? Actually agreeing with anybody in here? I see it but I don't believe it!

You dont think women use these terms too? I get voted a 3/10 all the time

I think it should stop - period. From either side.

Anyone who claims that women aren't also capable of judging men by their looks when amongst their friends is in denial. If you've ever hung out with a group of women in a bar or public place, they can be just as crass when surveying the passing talent.

Having said that, if they were to post it on social media, that would also be poor form.

That's for your footy opinions though

Don't be sad, at least your score has improved!!!

Reference the Red Carpet. That " Everyone" is broken down into what the genders are looking at. As a woman I'm looking at the dresses, the hairstyles, shoes etc and men are possibly looking at everything else but !!

I HATE the red carpet. It continues this demeaning "ranking" behaviour (again, from both sides). That the women fall over themselves to be seen on it in barely anything, is another topic again. Brownlow night should be about the players... the fairest and best (at football). I saw a terrific interview by a feminazi (not that I like feminazi's, just that I liked her interviews) - she was asking the partners what their latest career challenge was. No mention of who dressed them or how long it took them to get ready.

The world is just so fricking "hollywood" shallow, it's sad.

Hypothetical, can two clubs trade a Free Agent if they choose to? Eg, Nth Melbourne want to keep the compensation pick they get for Wells, but if they take Hendo, they lose it. Could they then trade for Hendo instead and keep the compo pick? Just trying to think of scenarios as they appear to be holding off on Hendo and free agency?

Just a thought, not sure if they are allowed to do it anyway.

They can. Port did it in the year that they signed Monfries. Were due to lose Chaplin & Pearce via FA so they traded their second or third round pick from memory to Essendon to keep their compo intact.

Pretty sure it was the same year Essendon acquired Goddard so they weren't going to get compo for Monfries. So it was a smart move by all parties.

 

[pjcrows]

Port people genuinely talking up one Richard Henderson as a potential fantastic acquisition.

Oh please make it happen.

I just don't see how it couldn't be. The salary cap is only $10m and you'll have Tex, Sloane, Jenkins, Eddie, Gibbs and Rockliff all on decent coin. That's got to be like... at least $4-5m there. How do you fit another 35 blokes under the cap with $5m?

I agree there's no way we can afford both. We have about 4 or 5 players still uncontracted so i imagine we're already planning some yearly pay break-down juggling as it is. Scott Thompson has reportedly gone from a decent wage to peanuts however.

 

[Crowbots are dead]

I dont know about the short/tall stats, but that last sentence is just utter fantasy.

So people are paid well because they are crap at their jobs? I don't reckon businesses can afford to do this. You sound jealous

That's incredibly judgmental and sexist, CrowinNT!

If they give him a typical Port Adelaide contract, we could get first round compensation!

Bacon8 what's the score with this?

You do realise that it's only the outcry that gives these throw-away lines any power, dont you?

Yeah like they can afford to bring in any player.

[Danger in Texas]

Apparently Peter Schwab said on SEN this morning that Rocky will meet with Fagan today, and that they told Petroro a decision could be made that they part ways, or stay.

Reckon he's gone

 

[Deaneus!]

He's called it: "an embarrassing period for the footy club"

Oh how they shall turn upon him

Yes it's happened a couple times afaik. We traded for Pods when he was a FA but mostly to just get it done using a pick we'll never use.

I just can't see BL coming out and whacking Rocky so hard yesterday unless they were planning to let him go.

Yes, but it would mean that the Kangaroos have to trade a better pick than the Crows would get as compensation for Henderson. I guess if Hendo is worth an end of 2nd round then the Kangas 2nd round pick would do it. But does that leave them in a better position? I reckon Wells' age would count against him attracting a 1st round compensation pick. But I suppose if it does somehow end up being an end of 1st round pick then the Kangas would probably rather take that and give up their 2nd round for Hendo, which would leave both clubs better off.

Realistic ways, I mean - the only players that will be traded, if at all, will be Lyons/CEY/Grigg. Lyons will fetch a pick in the 20's (which could be used if paired with something else). CEY will fetch a late 2nd/early 3rd, Grigg will attract a 3rd/4th. If we get Gibbs, though, I reckon we'll have to part with the Lyons pick in that deal as well as a first.

So the only realistic way is through giving up our first, whilst getting something else along with Rockliff.

I agree that those are the only Adelaide players likely to be traded.

I think you're over-rating CEY and Grigg by about a round. i.e. CEY = 3rd/4th, Grigg 4th/5th (and more likely to be taken as a DFA).
